P.D. James: The Mistletoe Murder and Other Stories (This will be a collection of four of the best Christmas stories that P.D. James wrote for newspapers. Two of them star a young Adam Dalgliesh.) (This is a Christmas themed mystery collection.)

I am currently reading Nine Lives by Wendy Corsi Staub and very excited there will be an additional novel coming. I also have to give a shout out for her Young Adult series Lily Dale. I read them this summer and even though they are earmarked for YA I really enjoyed them. I suggest reading them in order. Ms. Staub develops each character well, it is a great series. May not be for everyone but I feel her books enlightened me. I would love to visit the Dale!!

You seem to have most of my favourite cozies but I thought I’d mention another series, by Ashley Weaver, as her third book comes out in October. Though I’d recommend you read them in order if you’re curious – it starts with ‘Murder at the Brightwell’. I enjoyed it well enough.

As a newcomer to the blog I’m so pleased to have found you. Many of the authors on this list are new to me but there are also plenty of old favourites. I’ll enjoy looking out for these new releases. Thank you!
